A vehicular system includes a master ECU, a first slave ECU, and a second slave ECU. The second slave ECU transmits a storing request to the master ECU on detection of a malfunction. The master ECU transmits a storing instruction for causing diagnostic information to be stored, on reception of the storing request. The first slave ECU generates diagnostic information on the first slave ECU, on reception of the storing instruction from the master ECU. The first slave ECU further stores the generated diagnostic information in a retention storage medium. The retention storage medium is configured to retain validity determination information in a condition where the first slave ECU is not supplied with electric power source.

A system comprises a plurality of nodes connected in a peer-to-peer network via a communication interface. At least one node of the plurality of nodes comprises a transceiver, at least two connectors, at least one termination resistance module coupled to the transceiver, the at least one termination resistance module providing termination resistance within the node, a first detection circuit coupled to a first connector of the at least two connectors, and a second detection circuit coupled to a second connector of the at least two connectors. The first and second detection circuits are configured to detect that the node is coupled to one or more other nodes in the peer-to-peer network, and automatically adjust the termination resistance based on the detecting.

A method at a computing device for providing vehicle data to a client, the method including receiving a data object at an ingestor block at the computing device, the ingestor block comprising a plurality of ingestor instances capable of interacting with different entities; converting the data object to a frame; providing the frame to a translation stack at the computing device to convert the frame into a normalized message; and providing the normalized message to the client.

The disclosure relates generally to transfer of audio and/or video streams, and, more particularly, to system and method for real-time transfer of the audio and/or video streams through an Ethernet audio/video bridging (AVB) network. In one embodiment, multiple audio and/or video streams from multiple AVB enabled devices are received by an AVB enabled network device. Each of the multiple AVB enabled devices has a static priority based on criticality of an application that each of the multiple AVB enabled devices is performing. Further, each of the multiple audio and/or video streams is dynamically queued, by the AVB enabled network device, based on the static priority of the associated one of the AVB enabled devices. Furthermore, real-time transfer of the multiple audio and/or video streams to a user device is enabled, by the AVB enabled network device, through an Ethernet AVB network upon queuing the multiple audio and/or video streams.

A Smart Candle Platform may be configured to produce candle light using a natural wax candle as its fuel source or any other fuel source capable of producing light, including liquid fuels if so configured. The outer shell, inner cover, top cover and base provides a beautiful exterior shell which does not melt but emulates the look of a traditional pillar candle. The outer shell may be changeable/replaceable allowing for style and or seasonal changes. A Smart Candle Platform having multiple interactive systems and sensors for production of natural light via a safe, controllable device which may communicate with other similar configured devices or smart devices having application software embedded therein i.e. a smart phone having an app. is disclosed. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for auto-extinguishment. The Smart Candle Platform may be configured to allow for the addition of smells or scents.

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving power delivered over a data fiber cable at an optical transceiver installed at a network communications device and transmitting data and the power from the optical transceiver to the network communications device. The network communications device is powered by the power received from the optical transceiver. An apparatus is also disclosed herein.
